Thank you cards!!! These will come in handy. I sent them to the people who sent me flowers, made a meal, helped with the kids, etc.

Stool softeners and Metamucil cookies (cinnamon flavor). Narcotics can make you constipated and miserable. I like lip balm and maybe some lollypops or lifesavers. My throat hurt the 2nd day due to the breathing tube, but it only hurt for 1 day. The first day post op I didn't feel anything because I was on so much pain meds.

I would recommend a reacher/ grabber for your return home. I use it everyday.. very handy to sort laundry and pick up things I drop all the time... A must have!
Hope all goes as planned

Re: Going to Target this weekend. What is your #1 "must buy" for me?
AWESOME ideas! Thanks, everyone! I took a big list and had a great shopping trip! I bought some new jammy bottoms and a nightgown and a stretchy pair of capri something-or-others, jammies I guess! Got a bunch o' stuff ready to put in a fanny pack (GREAT idea, laceytaffy!). I got pillows galore: an extra regular bed pillow, plus a body pillow, a small tummy pillow (heart shaped!) and what my husband and I used to call a "couch thing," a firm large cushion with little arm-lets. I am set! Thanks everyone for the great suggestions--I think I used them all!

The only things I don't see listed here that I used are pre-moistened facial cleansing cloths and headbands. It felt nice to clean my face without any work before they would let me shower in the hospital. Even at home when I had no energy to shower I could feel refreshed and throw my hair back.
Good Luck!!!

OOH Body pilly I just may have to go and get one of the these in the next 2 days . I took my my 7 yo daughter with me when I went shopping for some stuff for me to use post-op. I picked up some pantie liners, and she asked me of they were to use for when my butt bleeds . That girl makes me laugh on a daily basis...Gotta love kids!!!!!
